On a big ship that was gradually moving away at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu, the soldier and horse envoy of the Duya, was also reluctantly looking at the direction where Dantu City was located. He was still feeling sorry for the vast majority of the treasures and coquettish concubines that he had not been able to take away in Dantu City because of his hasty and abrupt departure, which he had accumulated in the past few years, and now they were all cheap Taiping thieves.

On the other side of the cabin, Zhou Bao, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, who was over the age of old and bearded and white, was sitting on a simple banquet and a table, and his spirit and appetite were very good, and he was feasting on something; And make some kind of indecent noise.

You must know that because of the haste of the run, basically nothing was brought; However, even the rough food on the ship, which they would not have looked at with their eyes, he looked like he didn't think it was very good, and several empty plates had been piled up on the side.

"Father, in the face of great calamity, you are still safe and sound."

However, Zhou Yu was a little distressed and turned to look at his father.

"Why can't you eat peacefully? The matter has come to this point, is it possible that I want to be sick without thinking about tea and dinner, and worrying about it, which will help the outcome of the matter and the situation? ”

Zhou Bao didn't think so, swung his sleeves and wiped the oil stains on his mouth.

"It is precisely because of this calamity that I was able to escape that I had to sleep well to maintain my body; Learn to be a child's indecisive and indecisive and what should be helped. ”

At this point, he slowed down a little to become stern.

"The winds and waves that my father has experienced in his life, and the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood that he has waded through are still few; This is not the first time that such a crisis and setback have been encountered; At the beginning, the Hedong Silver Knife was a remnant of the party, but it almost killed all the people I stayed in the inn, etc., didn't you still kick out a way to survive single-handedly? ”

"Don't sit down with me yet, as a young marshal, you are so anxious, let alone follow those subordinates. How can you convince the remnants of the back building and the tooth soldiers? ”

Then, at this moment, Zhou Bao sighed in his heart. This son is still too smooth under the good care of the powerful and wealthy; So that when encountering real crises and difficulties, it is inevitable that they will mess up their hands and feet and be difficult to take on the big responsibility;

If he hadn't taken the opportunity to leave overnight, he would have been trapped in the thieves at this moment and would have been humiliated, and it would have been better to die. Obviously, in the coming days, I still need to continue to support the portal and the name of the family in my old age.

"Grandpa. That.. So where do we go here? Did you really go to the south to gather the soldiers and horses? ”

Zhou Yu, who was reprimanded, was still so unwilling to eat that he wanted to speak again and stopped.

"You're such a clumsie. It's just a hypothesis to cover people's ears when they go out,"

Zhou Bao did not hesitate to shake his rice-stained beard and scolded him again

"Runzhou is not guaranteed, and Changzhou and Huzhou, which are nearby, will not be able to finish their eggs; As for the local officials in coastal Hangzhou and Mingzhou, they are not good people, do they want to send them over to make decorations? Suzhou's new assassin Zhao Zai is finally the court and kind to the old man.,It's a pity that it's a waste who only makes money.。。 ”

"Could it be that we want to go north and go to Huainan to make a comeback under the rule of the high envoy of Huainan?"

Zhou Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"How is this possible?"

Zhou Bao was a heavy empty rice bowl, and glared at him with hatred that iron could not become steel.

"Not to mention that Huainan was rampant with thieves for a while and had no time to take care of himself; The situation in Yangzhou is also in crisis. If you accidentally bump into a thief on the way, you will be destroyed. ”

"Moreover, although I and the old man have been friends and friends since childhood, over the years, because of the Jianghuai rent and taxation, there have been many conflicts and disputes, and we have been very far away."

"Is it not so rash to go to the defection without soldiers and power, and not to suffer from ridicule under the fence? Not to mention that once it is subject to others, can the authority and reputation of the Zhenhai Festival received by this court continue to be maintained? ”

"Then what about Grandpa's plans."

Zhou Yu, who was reprimanded by Yitong, asked cautiously again.

"Of course, we will continue to go north, but not to Huainan, but to Haizhou under the rule of the Taining Army...

Zhou Bao immediately revealed the answer.

"The Taining military festival envoy Qi Junrou (Kerang) is the origin of our old and Baoju, and has always been loyal to the imperial court; With him escorting and transferring to the imperial court, it can be regarded as an escape and peace of mind. As long as you can return to the center of the court, everything will have a chance to start again. ”

"However, you need to go to Jiangdu for a trip... A summary of all the thieves must be presented face to face. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Bao had another idea, and said solemnly to Zhou Yu.

"Naturally, if you go to the old man alone, you don't need to worry more, and you can't have a good experience in the past of the world. It is also a future guarantee for the father to put in the old horseman. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

On Beigu Mountain, Ganlu Temple, a famous historical site where the marriage of Shu and Wu was located during the Three Kingdoms period, has been cleaned up inside and outside and a large gray stone tablet that is hard enough has been transported and placed in the open space outside the pavilion on the high platform facing the river.

Hundreds of civil and military officials who were captured all over the city, plus hundreds of representatives of various scholars and civilians in the city, were forcibly gathered here. Although Zhou Bao's father and son had already fled, they almost lost all the civil and military officials and their dependents in the city to the occupation of the Taiping army.

Therefore, when they were brought here, they were still all kinds of uneasy and unexplained worries; However, the large stone monument that was quickly erected made them let out a kind of low surprise again.

Others panicked again and wanted to run away. But thinking of the Taiping thief who hates the official eunuch the most in these rumors, is this going to kill people as a sacrifice? It's just that they wanted to use the cover of the crowd to sneak away, but they were blocked back by the righteous soldiers who were waiting on all sides.

At this time, with a clear recitation, all the noise and buzz were overwhelmed in an instant, and someone took advantage of the situation to dip the ink in the limestone tablet and write hard.

"Through the ages... Heroes have no way to find Sun Zhong. ”

Suddenly, everyone present became silent, and they all sucked their eardrums at this opening sentence, as if they were shocked by shock.

"The dance pavilion is always blown away by the rain and wind.

The grass and trees in the slanting sun, the ordinary alleys, and the humane slaves once lived.

Thinking back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger. ”

After such a pause, everyone held their breath for a moment, leaving only the faint sound of the rushing water and the whistling sound of the wind in the distance, which was whimpering and singing for it. Then, the clear and penetrating voice sounded again:

"Yuan Jia is grassy, sealing the wolf Juxu, and winning the canghuang Beigu.

Wang Ba for four years, I still remember in hope, and Yangzhou Road is on fire.

can look back, under the Buddha shrine, a crow shrine drum.

Who asks: Lian Po is old, can he still eat? ”

This song from Xin Qiji's "Yongyule Jingkou Beiguting Nostalgia" had just been recited, and it spread as the sergeants around him sang in unison, which suddenly aroused the hiss and admiration of these crowds one after another.

"What a lot of courage."

"What a big ambition."

"What an ambition and weather that swallows thousands of miles like a tiger."

Only then did someone come back to their senses and realize that they couldn't help but praise him as the head of the grass thieves, rather than the contemporary veteran generals they followed and pursued. This can't help but be a little embarrassed and stupid, force disdain and indignation, and resolutely remedy the left and right:

"This son is really a big tone, is he Liu Jinu from the Beifu Army?"

"I'm afraid that Zhou Linggong is not compared to constant temperature, Wang Yi, Yu Xi and the like."

"I'm afraid of the meaning of his words, even Liu Jinu, a disciple of Beifu, doesn't think much of it."

"Then do you think you want to compare with Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Buddha Temple, in order to discuss the length of the north and the south?"

"Sure enough, it's the biggest thief among thieves, and the new henchmen of the court are in great trouble."

(Liu Jinu, Liu Yu, Taizu of the Southern Song Dynasty; Constant temperature, Wang Yi, the head of the army of the Southern Dynasty of Yu Xi for a while)

Just when everyone was already in an irrepressible commotion and couldn't help it, they heard a voice from above again: but in a short time, another poem was made.

"Where to look at China? Full of scenery Beigu Building.

How many things have risen and fallen through the ages? Long.

The Yangtze River is endless.

Young and ten-thousand, he sat down and the southeast war did not end.

Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? Cao Liu. Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. ”

"Nanxiangzi Dengjingkou Beiguting Youhuai"

"This is no longer enough to dominate the southeast, and there is still the plan to win the ambition of the Central Plains and ask the heroes of the world."

This time, it was after everyone had lost their voices for a long time and no one had spoken, and only then did an extraordinarily old voice speak tremblingly.

"How unfortunate the family and the country, how unfortunate the court, and how sad the people of the world are, they are all about to suffer from this catastrophe and catastrophe."

However, there are also people who are touched and emotionally aware of the strange eyes that face to face; This is the true declaration and spirit of winning the world. Maybe you can give a mess of wontons in front of you, and you don't know where the future holds, isn't it a new weather vane and guiding light?

Perhaps in the previous dynasty, it was regarded as an unforgivable contradiction, but in the new dynasty, it is the ambition of the new to reform the old and praise the eternal. Just like the story of Henkel and King Xiang seeing the ancestral dragon in ancient times.

Others are secretly imagining, which is the so-called truth of poetry and songs; Among them, the metaphors and allusions of "Yuanjia Caocao" and "Canghuang Beigu" are not optimistic about Huang Rui, the head of the thieves. If this is the case, I am afraid that there is still room for continued propagation and borrowing from the topic.

As the so-called scholars of literature have always used knives to kill people, they just need to judge their hearts with words and deeds that are appropriately played. Maybe it will increase their dislike and make the two thieves disgusted with each other.

Some people also think so, since the head of the Taiping thieves has a good reputation and is good at hand-me-downs; You can vote for what you like, in order to seek an opportunity to praise and welcome you, to be reckless, and even to seek a rich and noble position in the future.

However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the other party did not give them the opportunity to face each other and say a few words in person. Only a few craftsmen were left in front of the stone monument with a clanging sound. I want to talk about "Tang Remnant" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
